How Many Critical Hits (75+ Metascore) will the Wii U have in 2014?

The more important question is; will it matter at all in the long run? My guess is no.

In a broad sense, probably not. But as a gamer, I like playing good games, and this "75+ Metascore" scale is an easy, if flawed, way of gauging the number of fun games there will be to play.

Besides, eventually everybody will die and the universe will end, so of course it doesn't matter in the long run. But now that we've determined that most things aren't that important, it's interesting to see what we can find in the relatively trivial.

I don't disgaree, I'm just thinking of Reggie's simplified reasoning around "software sells hardware" (as in; not much else matters), which would by extension indicate that "good software sells more hardware", which in turn brings me to the belief many hold that high quality 1st party software alone can somehow help the Wii U become a contender.

Not saying you are one of these people though.

I agree that good games are desireable, of course, that's why I stick to the platform where I feel I get the best quality software for the best prices. That said; metascores are rarely a good metric for me personally in deciding which games are fun to play, I found myself being incredibly bored by a lot of very highly rated games in the 7th gen and I feel that the whole review system has collapsed on itself, asserting that production value is the supreme merit of a solid title, before any other aspects, leading to some gorgeous but shallow game experiences in the past 6-7 years.
